Nicole Kidman: As if it weren't bad enough that Vulture buddy Nikki Finke has begun to label the underperforming Australia as "Rupert's folly," Nicole Kidman now finds herself on The Receiving End of scorn from social-networking miscreants. Australian native Brendan Shanahan (not to be confused with the former New York Ranger) has started a Facebook group called "Am I Taking Crazy Pills or is Nicole Kidman the Worst Actress in the World?," a group which boasts at press time a (less than impressive) total of 246 members. Although Vulture tips its cap to the founder for incorporating a Zoolander reference into the group's name, we will go to our beds tonight fearful that the rogue actions of this collective might just be enough to persuade Nicole Kidman to finally quit Hollywood once and for all.

Brokeback Mountain Author Annoyed By Internet Dorks Re-writing Her Story as Slash Porn [Books]
Hey, did you know? Before Brokeback Mountain was a moviefilm about gay cowboys, it was a novella by Annie Proulx. Like, in an actual book. Now that her story has reached a mass audience, Proulx is on The Receiving End of certain fans re-writing her story as slash fiction—a.k.a. gay porn—and sending it to her. (Redundant?) Their amateurish attempts annoy the hell out of her. We looked up some of this slash fiction to see exactly how people are molesting this Pulitzer-winning author's story:

Facebook Users: We Hate Nicole Kidman
  Celebrities are sometimes, either loved or hated - and while it's certainly a person's right to like or dislike a particular celebrity, is it really necessary to create a specific group to post about your hatred?  And what's worse - picking on the children of the celebrity.  That's just not cool!There's apparently anti-Kidman campaigns and groups on Facebook where people can discuss their dislike of the actress, who, I'm sure, they've never met.  S

Sarah Silverman Booed Off UK Stage

But it was not to be — and she found herself on the receiving end of boos and catcalls from the audience when she ended her set after just 40 minutes. Fans who’d paid up to $85 (£50) for a ticket were ragin
